GBBO 2020 thread 3 - No fancy titles - in a rush!

[SchadenfreudePersonified]

Here's a thread if anyone else has made one let me know and I'll get this cancelled!

Laura annoys me because she reminds me of a brilliant girl I used to go to school with whose presentation was absolutely awful. Everyone else got pulled up on it by the teacher but she was given top marks. We all thought it was so unfair - not even a percent knocked off for (absolutely mucky) presentation.

I think Dave might pip Peter to the post you know. Both of theirs look beautiful.

Laura's look a mess, I'm sure the judges will say they taste great though

In my house they've just said putting Laura in the final was like keeping an old dog alive - not a kindness. Poor Laura, that was so predictable.

It would be nice for Dave to win as I feel he's the only one who's been on a 'journey'.

I hate to join the contestant pile on but do think Hermine would have done a better job than Laura there

@Veterinari

It's moments like this where Mel and Sue are really missed - they'd have walked in front of the camera effing and blinding so make the footage of poor Laura hiding in the freezer unusable

You're right Vetinari

They protected the dignity of stressed out, upset competitors - they were so good.

Ooh Peter's look gorgeous.

They'll both say they taste delicious which will be nice

Hellooo everyone great to see some familiar names 👍 I am gighahalibut/whatashower in former lives 😬

Will enjoy watching this now assuming Laura has ruled herself out already. I'm still 😡 at Hermine decision as I cannot fathom it. Maybe Laura will relax and do some great bakes as well!

Matts useless and Noel is a twunt

I think Peter will win. He's been the most consistent, although Dave has improved the most.
Laura reminds me of me. And I wouldn't go on Bake Off!

Poor Laura, having a bad start must be awful as it stays with you for the rest of the day.

Yes, absolutely agree with this, although what Noel just said was quite decent.

There are three rounds though - they could each have one 'bad' round and Laura will still be in the running.

I wonder if Hermine would've accidentally made bouncy, rubbery custard

Welcome back in your new incarnation Clickypen

(I think I may become "FRANK!Getthedoor" )

Actually having just had another look at Laura's she really, surely can't win with something which looks as bad as them.

I'd hate to be Laura following those two delicious bakes! I've had my share of baking disasters following recipes to the letter 😂

So THAT'S how you cut a custard slice without the custard squirting out all over the place

This challenge sounds a lot of work to do in 2 hours!

Noel's got to go, that creepy 'inspirational' whispering is doing my head in. I like Matt, I think he suits the show well.

Walnut whips...c'mon.

There is no way they could have kept Hermine in, she had a woeful week - would have been completely unfair when they’ve always said it’s on that week. Unfortunate, but that’s the way it goes.

Walnut ducking whip. Wtf

Tempered chocolate in a heatwave, thanks Prue

(And God, I hate Noel and Matt more every week, please get rid of at least one of them next year!)

WALNUT WHIRLS!

I'm looking forward to this already.
